Katy Perry blasts White House use of song on Iran strike TikTok: ‘Deeply appalled’
Perry said the White House used her hit without permission and turned an anthem of hope into a soundtrack for military strikes.
- On Saturday, pop star Katy Perry condemned the Trump administration for using her 2010 hit "Firework" in a White House TikTok video that synchronized lyrics with footage of military strikes on Iran.
- The White House TikTok account posted the video on Thursday, timing Perry's "boom, boom, boom" lyrics to clips of bomb explosions with the caption "Iran has been warned."
- Calling the use a "complete violation," Perry wrote on X that she did not approve, stating, "My music is for bringing people together, not celebrating warfare."
- Other artists, including Ariana Grande and Kesha, previously criticized the Trump administration for unauthorized use of their music in political videos, with Grande describing similar content as "barbaric."
- The administration maintains it is "locked and loaded" while pausing escalation against Iran, as President Trump claims Tehran has become more serious about potential agreements during negotiations.
